Thanks Wilson, worth giving another shot! I got bombarded by scams on the.. other site just because of this one question. But hope is there is still one out there with my name on it!

Kyle Layton produced these and had some crazy demand for a sway bar he offered for the trx700xx way back. Now they are no longer available except on the occasional used atv that pops up. I recall they were about $100 but I could be wrong, maybe $150 which is the price I would be willing to pay for a nice one. I'm nearly giving up and just plan on fabbing one from a piece of HDPE as I've seen some pretty impressive bumpers made of it. I'm after a lower profile bumper for loading in the truck as the stock bumper sticks out just a tad much and doesn't offer much for brush protection.

Looking for a L8ton Stealth Bumper for a TRX700XX. If you have one or know someone who does let me know!

And just because I've grown fond of bullpups, I thought I would share while it was still legal

Does anyone have any experience with the 'Clay Canon'? Just saw one in a store and after looking it up on utube I've started to consider it. Thoughts?

Sounds better than the real deal. I used to actually like Metallica until they started scalping their own tickets. I burned/destroyed all the music I had of theirs. This isn't bad!

As an owner of several of these i always give a warning to those who want to ride them independent rear grabs the corners like no other.. So lean and I mean LEAN forward and into the corner or your going to wish you did.

I'm not one for commercials, I'm notorious for changing the station. But there is one that I think of fondly whenever I see a funeral procession

I've had a motorcycle and car stolen so I know what you mean for the sick to your stomach feeling and the depression is unreal. Any info I find I'll share in a PM. Stay positive! A rare beastie like that is bound to show up sooner than later.

Yeah I've been following Quicks escapades for quite some time. Seeing that stolen really put a burr in my saddle. 🤬

Railroad Butte's... aka Farmingdale SD Great riding!!

Great gun and you can't beat that price. I like the bullpup for home defense, easy to sweep corners and narrow doors without having to drop the barrel as much as a traditional long gun, but at the range I prefer to keep the action a little more away from my ears and face. Lol The one I posted is a ATI Bulldog, can be found retailing for $499.

2008 TRX700XX Barkers exhaust & fuel computer Ricochet skid plates Kenda Bearclaws tires on the front Kenda Kutter tires on the rear Trail tech voyager pro Outlaw gas cap More I'm sure I've forgotten More to come eventually

Remind me Quick you have Elkas on that don't you? Barkers Exhaust? I'm sure the first thing they did was remove the skins, is it grey front or red? I may not be close but I'll keep an eye out for parts and such since there are many of them floating around. I hope you get it back and in good shape..

I had a VR60 then went to the VR80. Great gun! It was a stepping stone to my latest which I got strictly for target and emphasis on home defense 12 gauge, shoots 2 3/4 or 3" and four five round magazines.

Oh yeah! Nice! Thanks for sharing!

My next ride up I'll take some more detailed shots. I've spent over 20 years building log homes so I check out these older ones every chance I get.

I don't know much about it but I am looking for more info. So far I've learned it was still standing and was occupied into the 60's but I'm searching for more info!

Finally got some ride time. Not much for pictures but it felt really good to get out and the 60° weather was perfect.

I use my Garmin Montana 680t on everything from my trx, to my jeep and even on my Hayabusa. That would change if Trail Tech updated this to support MVUM maps though then I'm afraid this would be my go to offroad gps. This screen is so much faster than my Garmin and no matter how bright it is its so easy to see this screen.

it does come with an external antenna for the friend tracker. It also supports an external antenna for the GPS as well but in my testing it was very accurate even in dense canopy and valley riding with just the internal antenna.

Earlier this year I decided to get a Trail Tech Voyager Pro for my Honda Trx700xx and thought I would share my experience with it. To begin with this isn't a turn by turn gps (although they want to add it in future updates) and serves more for a vehicle information center than something you would want to use to find a Best Buy, Applebee's or McDonald's but it is loaded with city and road maps so it does provide some basic navigation for road use if needed. For my application (atv) I just wanted a device that offered more information than what Honda sold with the machine. At a glance it provides a as little or as much information about your machine as you want. I installed the speed, tachometer and engine temp sensors and it also shows vehicle voltage and odometer information. Non vehicle info such as time, elevation, trip meter and even bluetooth connectivity is also included. I wont be reviewing the Bluetooth features as I don't use them but for a basic overview it works with helmet coms and connects to your phone for basic operations such as text notification and receiving calls. It uses only the GPX format for mapping so trails can be laid out on a computer then saved to a microsd card and installed on the VPro. My biggest issue with this device is its lack of Forest Service MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Maps) support. I mostly use a Garmin Montana 680t for this and it doesn't seem like a feature Trail Tech is going to implement anytime soon as their software updates are slim to none. Basic GPS functions like waypoints and such are also supported and easily named using a glove friendly touch screen. Trail Tech also has something called buddy tracking on this device that uses radio waves to show where other VP users in your group are but in my experience if you cant see them they don't show on the map since the radio works MOSTLY in line of sight so a fairly worthless feature for me if we are riding in the mountains. However, when we ride out near the badlands it shows my "buddies" position on the mx track. If he breaks down it does offer a SOS feature but again, if you are out of range it won't do any good. Works best in flat open areas, forget it in heavily wooded or mountain trails. The unit itself is built very sturdy and they have youtube video showing it taking an excessive amount of abuse. The buttons are firm and provide a audible click and feel to them when using gloves and the screen touch is very fast when I compare it with my Garmin. All in all its not a bad system but a bit expensive at $400+. I like the extra information and alerts it provides and the user screen customization displays just what I want. All in all I do plan on buying another but would love for Trail Tech to up their game when it comes to software/firmware updates. Pro's- -Can see the display in bright sunlight -gps tracking is very accurate even in heavily wooded areas. -easy to install and use. -can be removed from the charging cradle when not in use -Screen face is touch sensitive and is fast and responsive. Supports both touch screen or physical buttons to navigate. -Vehicle information is many and accurate. Engine temp, RPM, battery voltage, speed (via hardware or GPS) -Dec 2020 update allows customs maps Cons- -No power adapter is included. An ac adapter must be bought separately as the only way to charge out of the box is when its on a running machine. -Not inexpensive, $400 and higher -Buddy Tracking works best in open flat areas

We need an angry face emoji for the drop down reaction thing.

My .02 If your tires are 2ply there might not be quite enough rubber for the plugs to vulcanize a good seal so I recommend the kit with cement as well, just for extra protection

This may have been posted stress but then it needs to be listened to again
